A word cloud is a visual depiction of a set of words or terms which have been grouped together in a number of ways such as alphabetically or because of their frequency (number of times they appear).
Depending on the parameters used to generate a word cloud, various attributes such as the size of each word, weight, colour or a combination of the three can be used to display frequency and importance of each word or term.
In general terms, words or terms which feature in word clouds that have a large font size and/or weight means they have been mentioned more often than other words or terms. If a word cloud was generated from a well written educational document, ideally the most important terms should appear largests as they are mentioned the most, usually highlighting their importance to the subject being discussed.
